Premier League: Tottenham hammer Everton to boost top four bid

By Aman Shukla

Antonio Conte challenged Tottenham to push for a top-four finish in the Premier League after their 5-0 rout of Everton pushed the sad visitors deeper into relegation risk on Monday. Conte’s side went out of control in north London after Michael Keane’s own goal began the spree early in the first half. Son Heung-min expanded Tottenham’s advantage and Harry Kane bagged the third before the half time. Sergio Reguilon made it four and Kane scored again to complete the demolition. Tottenham’s second successive league win moved them up to seventh, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have played one game less than their north London rivals.

“A good game. Also a good answer after the last defeat,” Conte said. “It’s not enough. The players and I want to fight for a position at the top of the table.

“We have to take this responsibility in the last 12 games to give everything. I want an answer from my players against Manchester United on Saturday.

“I want to see if we’re getting better in a tough game against an important team fighting with us for the top four.”
